The Hanshin Tigers went 1-10 over their last eleven games. I mentioned elsewhere that it was an eleven-game road trip, but in actuality, it was a nine-game road trip with two home games at Matsuyama. Either way, it was an awful eleven games.

And for those interested, here are some stats from those eleven games.

The Tigers also committed six errors and allowed ten unearned runs. They lost three games by one run and three games by two runs. The two quality starts did not include the game they actually won. The offense also banged out double-digit hits in six of the eleven games.

Nobuhiro Matsuda (SOF) has hit five doubles over his last six games (twenty-six at bats) ... Wladimir Balentien (YAK) has hit four homers and driven in ten runs over his last four games (fifteen at bats) ... Takehiro Ishikawa (YOK) has twelve hits in his last five games (twenty-one at bats). ... Matt Murton (HAN) has struck out eight times over his last five games (twenty-two at bats) ... Relievers Hideki Okajima (SOF) and Jorge Sosa (CHU) have yet to give up any earned runs -- 25.2 innings over thirty-one games for Okajima and 34.0 innings over twenty-six games for Sosa.

On a side note: The Central League went 4-0-2 on Thursday night. According to Sponichi, the last time there were six games on the Inter-league schedule and the CL did not lose a single game was on June 18, 2008 when they went 6-0.
